Good morning to the art of Asali and the Survival Pending Revolution Collection @philaprint.bsky.social. Good morning all.
M. Gayle Dickson, known artistically as Asali, was the sole woman in the Graphic Arts Department of the Black Panther Party's Intercommunal News Service, led by Emory Douglas, from 1972 to 1974. Many of her illustrations highlighted themes of women, elders, and children, reflecting the Party’s commitment to uplifting the most vulnerable members of society.

This era coincided with the “Oakland: A Base of Operation” campaign, where the BPP, continuing the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement, ran Bobby Seale for Mayor of Oakland and Elaine Brown for City Council. As part of this effort, the Party registered 10,000 Oakland residents to vote, distributed an equal number of free grocery bags (each with a chicken), and supported progressive candidates like Shirley Chisholm for President and the re-election of Ron Dellums to Congress.

The Black Panther Party’s broader Survival Pending Revolution campaign also took root at this time, addressing the immediate needs of Black communities while pursuing long-term revolutionary change. Programs like free breakfast for children, health clinics, education initiatives, and community self-defense underscored their mission to foster self-sufficiency and resist systemic oppression.

100% of the net proceeds from the Survival Pending Revolution Collection will be donated to Asali Caring Circle, supporting Gayle Dickson’s ongoing work and helping ensure her safety.

About the Art:  
Originally titled "All Out War Declared", this 11x17 pencil and photo collage appeared on the back page of the October 13, 1973, issue of the Black Panther Intercommunal News Service.

The caption reads: “I’ve seen a major depression, 4 wars of aggression, civil rights leaders assassinated. Progress? Another war of aggression, unemployment lines; food lines; our human rights denied.” The central figure, a woman in a coat holding a folded newspaper, stands in front of a crowd w the headline "All Out War Declared In The Middle East." -Philadelphia Printworks

“When I feel like this, I turn to Lorde who lived and died through similar times, found strength, built a voice, and broke silence and paralysis from within her work." — Maria P. Chaves Daza, PPW ZINE ARCHIVE (2016)

Audre Lorde: An Offering During Times of Paralysis
“Apartheid U.S.A.” is eerie. Reading the essay bends time. It is 1985 and 2016 vacillating in a haze of repetition.
